Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Xylosyltransferase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the XYLT2 gene .[ 5] [ 6]
The protein encoded by this gene is an isoform of xylosyltransferase, which belongs to a family of glycosyltransferases . This enzyme transfers xylose from UDP -xylose to specific serine residues of the core protein and initiates the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycan chains in proteoglycans including chondroitin sulfate , heparan sulfate , heparin and dermatan sulfate .[ 6]
Clinical significance [ edit ] The enzyme activity, which is increased in scleroderma patients, is a diagnostic marker for the determination of sclerotic activity in systemic sclerosis.[ 6]
Mutations in this gene have been shown to be the cause of the spondylo-ocular syndrome .[ 7] pseudoxanthoma elasticum .
